My interest in autism, and my engagement in autism advocacy, began with my son Conor's Autism Disorder diagnosis and the need to do something.

#NB It's important to point a Province-wide issue. The individuals I spoke with all said to many rules at the shelter or they were simply banned for various reasons. A small number mentioned they did not feel safe going to the shelter. No easy solution.

Molly, Liberal Housing Critic Benoit Bourque, and I attended the NB @ACORNunion rally for tenants' rights alongside 50-60 ppl this afternoon. We listened to many passionate speakers like @chairnbcpd , @CupeMaritimes president, & more. #housingisahumanright

Absolutely massive congratulations are due to @gg_andrewhe, who gave a master class last night on how to play Jeopardy in a tournament context - I feel lucky to have even been a side character to his main character in our semifinal!!

Weird story. As I’ve said publicly in many interviews, I have no plans on resigning my seat.

Hearing of George Daley's firing and John McLaughlin's return as DM of Education (A) has me really concerned. All this upheaval in Education risks hurting our students, teachers, dept staff & school system. Hoping for some transparency on these decisions.

That's a smile that can light up a room🤩. There's NO shame in #ProfoundAutism. Without ⭐Medical Language⭐there's no means to advocate schools&government for Evidence Based intervention&needed on going enriching full life support's for the vulnerable. Shine on Conor! #Canpoli
For those who think autism carries a stigma Conor, who has a profound autism diagnosis would disagree. In LHHS he received a medal for his smile. Cashiers often call out his name when he enters. He brings Joy to family & friends. Conor's autism carries no #stigma.

The removal of travel restrictions into Canada should not be seen as a victory by PierrePoilievre, trucker convoys or antivaxxers. It is the result of science and development of vaccinations. – at Weldford, New Brunswick

I'm happy to see the DOH add libraries & municipal offices to the distribution pts for rapid tests, & to remove the need to be symptomatic. As requested weeks ago, we strongly recommend adding schools to the distribution points.

Sadly, the ACE sites continue to be decades behind where they should be when it comes to diagnosis and treatment of co-occurring/underlying conditions with ASD. The evidence for them is there; time to catch-up!

Excellent essay. It’s tremendously unethical that 2/3 of @NIH ASD research studies on the HFA population. “Neurodiversity” a made up non medical term 4 the smart, lonely & quirky is NOT autism but eating up ASD budgets. @AIRPNetwork aeon.co/essays/why-the-neuro…
